Office Professional 2007 Trial

[Guest]

I have downloaded and installed Office 2007 Professional mainly to try the
Contact Management application because Act! 2005 is incompatible with .NET
Framework 2.0--required for Office 2007. However, Outlook 2007, a
prerequisite for Contact Management, is marked as "Unavailable." If I cannot
compare the Office Contact Management application to Act!--the app we have
been using for many years--I cannot even begin to consider Office 2007--in
any version--because it is incompatible with Act!

What must I do to try this product and see if it will work for us?

Further to my post about the trial of Outlook 2007.

I moved on to try Office Accounting 2007. We run Quickbooks 2007 and I am
looking at this as a replacement--with (hopefully) tighter integration with
other apps. However, even though I went through the authorization procedure
to access Quickbooks 2007 so that Office Accounting could import our data, it
coudl never get past the screen asking me to authorize--even though I had.
BTW, after the authorization, Quickbooks has the application name as, "small
business accounting" which is different from what the Office Accounting
screen indicates it should be: "Microsoft Office Accounting." What can I do
to correct this loop?

Dear Mr. Auerbach,
I'm having a similar problem- not wanting to purchase the program without
trying Outlook 2007 to determine if it's compatible with my other programs.
I've downloaded all versions of Office 2007 trials to see if Outlook came
with any of them and it was not downloaded with any of them. The chart on
the web site shows Outlook available with Standard, but it didn't download
either. I fear that this is a ploy to get loyal Outlook users to purchase
2007. Thinking people will not be sucked in. I'll keep using 2003 until it
expires, if need be. I will apologize if wrong and there's a glitch, but I
doubt it. Please let me know if you find a solution and good luck.
